I don't see how they can possibly get a conviction on this kid even if he did do it. Am I the only one that seems to think this points to dirty cops? They sure seemed to want to get this kid to admit to it and get the video released so no one would ask any more questions on the who dunnit front. That is the only motive I could come up with for interrogating like this. There is no way they thought they were following policy or doing what was right.
